How does the OEM lip handle cones?

Anyone autocrossed with an OEM front lip? I'm curious about the durability of the lip when getting smacked by cones...can it handle a few not-so-gentle blows without breaking/breaking off?

It'll take it just fine, as long as you tape up your lip and bumper to prevent scratches.

They can take a fair amout of punishment. But if you really crank one they have been known to break. I hit a truck retread at 75mph and wiped off the rubber marks on it.
